I do not have the stomach pain...sorry I could not help more

Kids are great! I would not trade it for the world! Yeah, it is nice to be in a state where my marriage is legal....but it will not be long before it is nation wide! tip... eat slow, drink your Water, and exercise. I have not followed the rules as well as I should but I work out daily some days two times a day so that has helped.

I am so glad we have a GLBT thread! We should start our own websight! I am a 37 year old in an interracial marriage. I have been married for 3 years (I live in Mass.) and we have been together for 6 years. I am a year and 7 months out. I have lost 100 lbs and feel great. My wife is very supportive but is thinking about have the lab band done after we have our second child. I got the lap band because of my health (high blood pressure, knees, etc...). We have a 2 year old! so I am moving all the time. I have about 15 or so more pounds to lose before I am normal weight. I have not been on LBT for a number of months checked in last week and saw this post and felt I need to reply...again, thanks for the thread!

I am having foot surgery next week and my docter did not remove my fill.
-
has anyone had another surgery with general anesthesia after they were banded? I have to have foot surgery. I am going to my doctor tomorrow to discuss my options and seeing if i need to have my fill removed until after the surgery.

I am celebrating my 1<SUP>st</SUP> bandiversary today. Last year started at 268.2 and today I am 187.4. I am down 80 pounds and feeling great. Next week, I visit my doctor to continue the process of getting off my hypertension medicine. I am able to run like I use in during my undergrad college year. I feel great and have had no complication. Now my goal is to get the remain 35-40 pounds off and continue to get healthier. Also, I am loving being able to get into any store and fit into the clothes! I continue to struggle with the idea that I am no longer a fat girl, but I am slowly transitioning. I rarely post on the site but I visit it daily. Thanks everyone for providing a place to learn more about living a new life
